Point & Flex Circus was established in 2013, with all current artists originating in Adelaide and performing in the Cirkidz Performance Troupe. We perform professionally as an emerging artists ensemble, and withhold a great deal of professionalism with clients.

A woman awakens, strung up in a straightjacket, in a room of memories: some from her past, some still to come. Trapped in a world where time folds and twists she has little choice but to explore her life, her choices and the possibilities that exist when the rules no longer apply.As the show hurtles on, the reality of her predicament becomes clearer and our character’s future rests on a knife-edge… her eyes start to glaze and you feel a cold shiver run down your spine. Will she snap, or is this the beginning of something amazing?

QUESTION TIMEACAPTA speaks with MARINA & TAYLOR

WHAT DOES CIRCUS / PHYSICAL THEATRE MEAN TO YOU?It's important for artists to be respectful and responsible with the material they create, but it's equally important that something new, innovative and refreshing is formed. Circus and Physical Theatre enables artists to create something new and different, and through this, we entertain and offer audiences a new perspective. 3 Steps Ahead is all about audience interaction and allowing the audience to control the performance and the direction of the show. Point & Flex Circus is an emerging ensemble, and we are still finding our artistic 'voice' and positioning in the industry. Nonetheless, we take pride in that circus provides an opportunity for self-expression and friendship.

WHAT’S THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CIRCUS / PHYSICAL THEATRE CAREER SO FAR?In September / October 2014, Point & Flex Circus debuted their newest creation, 3 Steps Ahead, in the 2014 Melbourne Fringe Festival, and were the recipients of ‘Best Emerging Circus Performer'. The opportunity and privilege to travel interstate was a great learning experience for the company and artists alike.

IF YOU WEREN’T DOING CIRCUS/PHYSICAL THEATRE, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING?Marina says, “We use performance to convey an emotion, theme or story. To make the audience feel something specific and to carry them through a journey. If I wasn't a circus performer, perhaps a musician, a singer or an actor. I couldn't live happily without the chance to put a smile on someone’s face, day after day.” Taylor replied with a similar response: wanting to become a full-time dancer, and highlights that she was born for the stage.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN 5 YEARS TIME?We want to continue to expand our audience from a local to a national platform via popular festivals such as the Tasmanian Circus Fest, Falls Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and Western Australia Circus Festival. Building on our highly successful 2014 Adelaide Fringe season, we see great potential in touring to Australian Fringe Festivals over 2015 and 2016. This will lead to an expansion of our ensemble, through the recruitment of more artists and administration members.
